We apply sensitivity analysis to the design and control of a tendon transmission. With this approach, some prefered values for the system parameters and a feedback compensator can...
In this paper we discuss a robotic task requiring dynamicalsafety in the face of an intermittent environment. We define and offer examples of this notion. We then construct a dyna...

Minimalism pursues the following agenda: For a given robotics task, nd the minimal con guration of resources required to solve the task. Thus, minimalism attempts to reduce the re...
We review the current state of research in autonomous mobile robots and conclude that there is an inadequate basis for predicting the reliability and behavior of robots operating ...
When many mobile robots should achieve cooperation, local communication system is considered appropriate from the standpoint of the cost and capacity of communication. This paper ...
This paper reports preliminary experiments with a provably correct model-based adaptive robot control algorithm for simultaneous position and force trajectory tracking of a robot ...

A systematic approach to the modeling of deformable ne linear objects is presented. Various deformable objects are manipulated in many manufacturing processes. Deformation of the...
This paper describes the development of a sensor which performs parts inspection by measuring the inertial properties of the part. The sensor comprises a platform supported on a c...
A tractor-trailer robot consists of a carlike tractor towing a passive trailer. Due to its highly nonholonomic nature, the kinematics of this type of robot are complicated and di ...
